Isn't it too late to get in on this? If not i'll chime in.

Almost, you still have a little over 12 hours left.

I think Vivi needs to dress up like this guy

and goes to a store in the ghetto, yells to everyone "Make way to Da Pimp, commoners", slaps down over $1K in cash for the tickets, then walks out like a boss...and puts all of that on cam (from one of his friends) for us to see.

Mine went through vivi? I sent it a couple of days back and got the paypal confirmation

 

[BeeBoop]

It says that he accepts Amazon gift cards. Is it possible to send that in time for tomorrow? I don't have paypal!


Edit 1 Ahhh okay, Amazon has electronic gift cards. Nice. Going to try it out.


Edit 2 What is that question about data entry? It says, "Are you willing to data entry into the spreadsheet?"

[cronos]

Just paypaled my single share and entered the info on the google docs form.

We're in it to win it!

For the question above: you can volunteer to help out typing the numbers from the tickets to a spreadsheet for easy checking when the winning numbers are out.

Okay thanks. I thought it was asking if I wanted to make my email and name public so I put no. Do you know if vivi will send me a confirmation? I put in 3 shares through Amazon.

 

[elbosco]

In for 3 shares.

 

[sdifox]

The waiting and anticipation is torture.

Err, no. I expect to not win. I would be ecstatic if we did though.

[gorcorps]

Will edit document when I can

 

[Spoooon]

In.

Not really expecting a whole lot, but the lead up and anticipation is fun.

 

[dabuddha]

WTF are you talking about? I just ordered my swimming pool full of chocolate to be installed on Friday!

 

[brainhulk]

you guys must throw a bulk beef party if you guys win

 

[Tweak155]

Ask me on Thursday :awe:

Actually, I think it's only fair.

Possibly but better figure out the math now and agree on a share count in case it lands.

If there just so happens to be a winning ticket, could cause a huge mess afterwards.

 

[Juddog]

Money has been sent, name added to list!

Just make it 1% of shares or something simple like that. So if we end up with 150 shares, Vivi's "gift" for running it is 1.5 shares. 100 million after taxes means each share would be worth (at first) ~$666,666. Vi would get 1.5 shares of that first or $1 million even.

Now the rest of the shares are worth $99million/150 shares -> $660000

Seems fair given that if he wasn't running it we would have gotten squat.

That's fine but everyone should agree. People go crazy when lots of money is involved

 

[JEDI]

What do you guys think of giving me 1 or 2 shares this time instead of buying my own?

sure. sounds fair since yur doing the work.

but u might want to put in a disclaimer on the next drawing (if noone wins today) that you're adding 1 share for yourself for, say, every 50 shares bought (rounded down)

 

[ader098]

Sent $10 bucks yesterday so I'm in too (I hope)

I got a good feeling about this guys.

 

[Zeze]

1. Does anyone have the odds of winning the jackpot? (vs our shares)

2. Also what is the second biggest prize you can get? How much would that be?

That's fine but if the person behind you buys 1-2 and wins we will all hate you forever and ever :awe:
